Dozens of bike commuters stopped for donuts, coffee and some schooling this morning on the Hawthorne Bridge as TriMet and the bicycling group Shift held the first of this week's three Breakfast on the Bridge events.

Watch the video to learn more about the traffic changes, the history of "B on B" and what cyclists think of the new mall rules.

(One sore point: At most intersections, bike riders will have to stop and use the crosswalk to turn right).

This week's breakfasts aim to educate cyclists about permanent lane and signal changes coming to the downtown Transit Mall. The consensus among most cyclists stopping for breakfast this morning: They'll probably just avoid the transit mall.

There will be two more 7 a.m.-to-9 a.m. bike breakfasts this week: Wednesday on the Broadway Bridge and Friday on the Steel Bridge.
